The decision was made this Tuesday morning: according to our information, Kylian Mbappé will replace this Tuesday evening (9 p.m.) for the knockout round of the Champions League against Bayern Munich. This is already great news for Christophe Galtier’s PSG, who will therefore be able to consider bringing their striker into play when he has long feared not being able to count on him.
Kylian Mbappé had suffered a left thigh injury on February 1 in Montpellier and the club had announced an unavailability “estimated at three weeks”. His return to the training grounds on Sunday was a game-changer. Thus, Monday evening, during his press conference the day before the match, Christophe Galtier explained: “Kylian trained yesterday (Sunday) individually and today (Monday) collectively. I didn’t think he was going to train yesterday (Sunday). His post-training feedback is very positive. Will he be on the score sheet? It’s not sure yet. We will take stock tomorrow morning (Tuesday) when we meet again. The first questions will be asked to Kylian, how he projects himself. There will be discussions with the medical staff. Kylian gave himself the best chance of being available. I have to wait until tomorrow morning (Tuesday) to find out how he feels. If it is on the sheet, it will be for play. How long ? I don’t know, but he won’t make an appearance on the sidelines.
For PSG this return, even on the bench, is very good news.
